#JSULove: "Our love story began on the campus of Thee Jackson State University. My wife, Meskerem 'Meski' Chufamo, from the ancient land of Ethiopia with its exotic beauty, would pass by me, Zachery Glenn, a southerner from Mississippi, exchanging innocent pleasantries as we went to and from class.

As time passed, I mustered the courage to ask one simple question, 'What is your name?' Meski gladly obliged and this sparked a curiosity for us to pursue more than a face value knowledge of each other. A mutual friend named Bezawit enlightened Meski with the knowledge she desired of me and an infatuation with me was birthed that was so subtle and discreet that she was unaware of her feelings.

As more time passed, an acquaintance of ours would be the bridge to bring us together. He recommended I should seek a relationship with Meski. I had thought that Ethiopian women were not interested in American men.

The opportunity came for us to start our romantic journey together. It was a spring day around noon when I spotted Meski outside the cafeteria at the Plaza. She was wearing my favorite color and looking as radiant as the noon day sun.

I mustered the courage and walked over to engage with her in conversation. At last, the time had come for me to utter those words critical to modern day dating, 'Can I get your number?' Meski happily obliged and to my surprise she gave me her real phone number!

To Meski's surprise, I would text and even call her quite often. From that day onward, through good times, hard times, joyful occasions and difficult ones, we grew more and more in love with one another, prompting me to ask Meski to be my wife on Dec. 15, 2018. Surrounded with the joy and support of family and friends, she happily said 'Yes!'

Fast-forward to Aug. 17, 2023, and the wedding of the ages took place for all who were invited to see and celebrate a love that started with a simple smile and hello at Jackson State University." - The Glenns
